Psalm 85

¹ You showed favor to your land, O LORD;
you restored the fortunes of Jacob.

² You forgave the guilt of your people;
you covered all their sin. Selah

³ You withdrew all your fury;
you turned from your burning anger.

⁴ Restore us, O God of our salvation,
and put away your displeasure with us.

⁵ Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger to all generations?

⁶ Will you not revive us again,
so that your people may rejoice in you?

⁷ Show us your faithful love, O LORD,
and grant us your salvation.

⁸ Let me hear what God the LORD will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people
and to his faithful ones—
but let them not turn back to folly.

⁹ Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
so that glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰ Faithful love and truth have met;
righteousness and peace have kissed.

¹¹ Truth springs up from the earth,
and righteousness looks down from heaven.

¹² Indeed, the LORD will give what is good,
and our land will yield its harvest.

¹³ Righteousness will go before him
and make his footsteps a path.
